This is really awesome. Odd that they didn't set it to a Beatles song, though.


That´s because this is the official video to "Garble Arch" by Blame Ringo from Brisbane, *downunder

Perhaps its to make a point?

I once met someone who lived either on Abbey Road or just round the corner from there. They said it's really annoying when you have to drive along that road everyday, but I guess that's pretty obvious watching this video.

Do they have long performances, lives, etc? or just the general commercial video?

Imeem has music videos too. http://www.imeem.com/video/ranked/music
I don't know if they have a good amount of 80's music videos though. But the videos I've seen are usually of good quality.

Veoh could be another alternative in terms of quality.

Thanks for that, done

Hi. Just thought you might be interested to hear The Killers covering the song:

In reply to this comment by Linz:
I've always loved this song, but finally seeing the video actually makes me like it a little less. That's just not how it looks in my head!
It would rock if they just used that montage from Empire records.

The Killers cover this song on their new album, Sawdust.

It seems Brandon Flowers isn't familiar with the term "street suss" as in his version he says "sings the streets a serenade."

[edit]
Here's The Killers' version.

There is a great german movie on this urban legend (aptly titled "Paul is dead"), in which a boy discovers all kinds of "evidence" (the Abbey-Road-Cover thing, O.P.D.-badge, backward masking etc.) for the cover-up of Paul's death - only to find out later on that he has been fooled by his older friend, who introduced him to this "conspiracy".

doogle: I'm going to assume you're serious. Back when the Beatles were releasing albums, there were rumors that Paul McCartney had died. This was further enhanced by little tell-tale things people saw, ie. the Abbey Road album had all the members walking across the actual Abbey Rd. in England with the left foot first. All except Paul who's right foot was forward. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Road_%28album%29) There were also several other "clues" that people used to put together that McCartney had died. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_is_dead

Regardless, this is the "Paul is dead" he's referring to; making allusions to the fact that people were seeing what they wanted to see.

With that said, of course they put that in the Huckabee commercial. He has armies of people on his campaign staff and you're telling me not one person noticed it and pointed it out before it went to air? Of course they knew...

Firstly I'm also a Jon Brion fan. From what I've seen from movie clips it seems like this movie will be very dark, and not particulary suited for Brion's style of music. I don't think he'd be slighted or hurt by letting someone else do the score. He's got enough talent and projects to keep him busy for quite some time. Not to mention that he's been recording a new solo album at Abbey Road!

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
Really!?! I have kind of mixed emotions about that, because Jon Brion has done some brilliant work in PTA's previous films, yet I love Radiohead and JG. I wonder what happened? First Jon Brion gets his version of Fiona Apple's album (unfairly and wrongly) dumped, and now this.

...not to mention jonny greenwood from radiohead did the score!

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".
